Building web sites using HTML tags

1) with HTML plus JS you are in full control, in the look and response of your web page. The use of CSS (cascaded style sheets) will make the look of the web pages in you web site consistent, The use of PHP in your site would enhance it and gives it more functionality.
2) The basic idea of HTML is the use of tags to tell the browser how and what to display in your page. Basically, there are types of tags one having a start and an end tag and the other has only one tag to describe the action or the function. Examples are <b></b> bold and <img src="imagename3.ext">
3) More commonly used tags: <i></i> italics, <u></u> underline. <br>: carriage return or line feed
4) These tags are called elements and can be classified broadly into: document structure elements, anchor element, block formatting elements, character data, document sound, dynamic documents, forms, inline images, character formatting elements, list elements and tables. The latest version is HTML5, the HTML standard is under the control of W3 (world wide web consortium) plus all other web related standards. The most widely acceptable HTML standard is version 4.01. HTML would have more elements (though so far not all browsers support the newer standard. The new tags belong to the following categories: markup elements, media elements, canvas element, form elements and input type attribute values.
5) To start a web page, open your favourite text editor, enter the tags and the text (body of your page) and save the document with .html extension (eg. index.html, index is usually the front page of your web site).
